RE: [Allegropro-dev] Updates to CVS/new file release

[Korval <Ko...@co...>]

I thought that I had cleared this up with my post on Allegro.cc.

There is no Lua install. There is no "has Lua". Lua is an embedded language.
This means that the interpreter becomes part of the executable that uses it.
As such, if you have an executable that uses it (like Premake), then you
have all that you need. It isn't like Python or Perl, where you run a single
executable that executes the script. Running Premake requires nothing more
than the Premake executable (that, and the Lua script, of course).

Also, as it turns out, Premake's source distribution actually ships the Lua
4.0.1 distribution. So it comes with everything you need to build it. A good
thing too. I'm not sure that the 4.0.1 really exists anywhere anymore. Which
is a good thing, because Lua 5 is much nicer and more consistent.

OK, I'll take a look at it. Maybe we should have an executable that
would be statically linked to Lua so even if you don't have Lua you
can run the code? Anyway, you can count on me looking at it (prolly
tommorow).
